Hauler?

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

Hauler?

Post by man-with-the-dogs » Sun Jun 11, 2006 8:28 am

Anybody care to explain why there is a Grapple lookalike in MTMTE Part One who never transforms and is never seen again named Hauler?

Grapple was 'hauling' at the time so he was referred to as a hauler.

You might be interested in this page about Hauler from the Obscure Transformers website, which tells you everything that's known about him.

... and even things you never wanted to know... :D

(frankly I never thought I'd see a page dedicated to the memory of Crosscut. Yet apparently I wans'T the only one who liked him and all the hi-then-die chars in those Bob stories.

Indeed not. That site is one of my all-time favourite TF-related sites. All that cool stuff about neglected characters. It's a shame it's not been updated for a couple of years.

Seconded. And it came in super handy during our old "Guess the TF" games.

Cool site, yes. But the actual reason is probably more boring. Like they thought they'd use him more in season one than they did since the toys came first, but they didn't. So eventually they decided the name "Grapple" was cooler. Zzzzzz...I know, boring conclusion. :(

Alright...I like that site's explanation better so we'll go with that.
